IDReaper win! Big thanks to him for this match!
I still don’t have sufficient nerves to race 20 laps under top pilot pressure...and IDReaper was reaally fast !!
Congrat to him!
It seems like that mirage ships are spreading like green aliens of “mars attack” and winning all over , please someone stop them lol
+4 for Mirage and +3 for Assegai. It's seriously becoming a three-horse race at the front of the field. I might have to suspend those three from the league for a week or two. :P
And to all people, I know it might be a little bit confusing despite all my previous attempts to indicate it in the first post and every single race report from about a month ago onwards but please remember, the standard race os:
AMPHISEUM FORWARD, RAPIER RACE, WEAPONS ON, 4 LAPS
Got it?
For how long exactly? It's just that it might get a bit boring for people doing Amphiseum over and over again...
For as long as I see fit. Given that a lot of people had problems when I tried to switch from Anulpha to Vineta earlier, I thought the more straightforward I make it the better. And is one Amphiseum race going to make you that bored? I chose it because as tracks go, it's a fairly safe one with not too many cheeky BR attempts but a lot more going for it than say Talon's Junction. If you don't like the way I'm trying to organise everyone into friendly matches with a level playing ground, please feel free to leave.
Oh come on there's no need to be like that, I was only messing :)
After my own testing and speed gauging of the Fury EG-X, I actually like the Fury version more than the HD, though I have to admit EG-X seems to be the sleeper craft of the entire game (this is my own conceptual belief, though). I think I'll have to push the Fury version in some Phantom races and see how I do.Quote:

And Gadaffi, edit your post to remove the high caps please. It's kind of difficult to think you're just being silly when you're bold-facedly making fun of me.
Well I had an absolute shocker of a WipEout night, so I'm going to try and redeem myself.
I await a challenge!
My choices will be:
Metropia Forward, Weps Off
Sol 2 Reverse, Weps Off
Vineta K Forward, Weps On
All Phantom speed and 5 Laps.
I await a challenge!
Please take note that i don't want to do Zone Battles or weapon-less races. I don't mind Eliminator though, and i'm gladly opened to Green Races.:)
I'll be flying on Fury Feisar.
My tracks:
1. Metropia Reverse, Phantom Class, Weapons On
2. Tech De Ra Reverse, Phantom Class, Weapons On
3. Chenghou Project Forward, Phantom Class, Green Race
What happened, DP? An Avalon nightmare?
The two things needn't be mutually exclusive. Relax dude :beerQuote:

And Kyonshi, man up. The idea of this is to challenge yourself to new things against other people. If you don't want to choose what the rival is using, then go and accept someone else's challenge.
For one, I was being sarcastic and suggesting he had an actual nightmare. Don't ever suggest someone should "man up," this isn't a dictated community. If you want to go flaunt your manhood, do it elsewhere.Quote:

What is that green race :blarg
Green Races are Phantom races where only Shields, Turbos and Autopilots may be used. Everything else must be absorbed.
Also, Twitchy, sorry I didn't catch your sarcasm/word play. It's difficult to display it over the internet. :/ And I'm not trying to be macho and controlling on this thread... and if I am it's because I'm trying to run this as smoothly as possible. I like this idea of getting 1v1 matches, and I want to see this thread run nice and smooth... which is why I've put the rules in. If Kyonshi wants to race a specific way with someone else, he can host matches online or challenge a specific person/answer a specific challenge. Kanar set up the Avalon 1v1 idea for each person to play to their strengths, and it doesn't sit well with me to try and block someone from doing what they want to do. You have the right to do three 20-lap Venom races if you want, but I therefore reserve the right to do a 50-target Zone Battle at Corridon 12, my personal hunting ground as it were.
I appreciate I'm not running this as perfectly as it could be, but I'm trying. It'll run better the less you guys stop nipping at me, OK? But if the mods and admins think I'm running this wrong, I'm more than happy to step down and let someone more capable do that. Until then, you play by the rules I set on my thread. Okay?
---
On a lighter note!
Given that I have a rather special guest round tonight, I thought I'd challenge him to one of these 1v1 challenges... in Split Screen! :D All races were Phantom, Weps On except for Syncopia and Amphiseum, of course.
Challenger #001 (Fury Qirex) vs yeldar2097 (Fury Harimau)
1) Vineta K Rev: I'd watched Yel do his time trials upon this track forward, but he seemed to rely more on bombs and mines to get by this time. I finished about five seconds behind him. Win for Yeldar.
2) Modesto Heights Fwd: One thing the pair of us forgot - if you die in a racebox race, you stay dead! Yeldar's rather overexuberance on barrel rolls caused a rather pretty explosion, and I sailed on to a win. Bit of a shock to the pair of us, but Yeldar took it like a gentleman. Win for Challenger.
3) Sol 2 Rev: Never liked this track, and simply couldn't keep up with Yeldar. Not even when he managed to boost off the track he still finished eight seconds up the line from me. XD Win for Yeldar.
4) Sebenco Climb Rev: I can't write much about this considering that I barely saw the guy after he BR'd twice over me on the opening chicane. Screenwatching gave me an opportunity to try quaking him, but he shielded. ;) Sorry mate. Win for Yeldar.
5) Chenghou Project Rev: I got the early boost off the line, and managed to Rocket Yeldar going up the hill. Yeldar then fluffed the boost shortcut while I fell off the track at the open section. Yeldar quickly caught up to me and started shovel feeding me mines. Win for Yeldar.
6) Syncopia: If you've not tried playing ZB on split screen vertical, it can be a bit of a challenge. Both of us were hitting barriers we were nowhere near, and missing ones we ploughed straight into. I managed to hit 50, but not after two eliminations and a lot of laughter. Great match. :D Win for Challenger.
7) Amphiseum: No words needed here, got absolutely mugged. Fair play to the guy, wonderful sportsmanship and a great race set. ;3 Win for Yeldar.
5-2 to yeldar2097
Harimau +5
Qirex +2 (Loved the twitch when I chose this one, Yel. ;3)
EDIT:
oops made a mess up :)
Scrap my last message, I think I'm back on form now. 8)
Uh oh. :eek
I accept DarkPhantom_89's challenge!
My choices will be:
Tech De Ra Reverse(5 Laps), Weps Off
Talon's Junction Reverse(5 Laps), Weps Off
Ubermall Reverse(10 Laps), Weps On
All Phantom; BR On
Let's put more green on that board shall we? :g
lol, kinda training ! :lol
Dark_Phantom_89 (Fury Mirage) Vs IDReaper (Fury Mirage) - The Rematch!
Thought I'd do a little commentary for this one.
Vineta K - Started off as a very close run thing and we were both neck and neck until Lap 3. ID planted a bomb and I hit it which sent me flying into the wall and eliminating myself. I couldn't catch up after this and lost by 6 seconds. Win for ID.
Metropia - Another close run thing and ID was breathing down my neck the entire time. Missed a couple of speed pads and hit some walls but managed to hold on for the win. Win for me.
Sol 2 - I started the race in the lead until the last corner in Lap 1. ID overtook me after this and it was a real battle to catch up. He held on until Lap 3 when I managed to regain my lead by barrel rolling through the sharp left hand corner. ID was still right behind me though. Win for me.
Talon's Junction - ID lead for the first lap then I was able to overtake him on the sharp left hand turn and maintain my lead for the rest of the race. Win for me.
Tech De Ra - Yet another close race - ID was really putting me under pressure and was right behind me the whole time. I almost messed it up, but ID fell off the track during Lap 4 so I was able to win. Win for me.
Ubermall - This was a good one. I gained an early lead by boosting in the usual spot. ID tried to fire a missile on me during Lap 4 but I managed to plant a bomb and counteract it. A few rockets and quakes were fired but I managed to hold on until Lap 10 (the final lap.) I reached the uphill section and then came the quake... ID zoomed past me and maintained his lead for the rest of the race. Win for ID.
Amphiseum (Default Track) - I got off to an early lead by getting a boost and using it on the mag strip section. I managed to get around 4 seconds in front, but ID was able to catch up and fired a missile at me right before the finish line. Luckily for me I was able to cross it as the missile hit. Win for me.
So, to summarise:
Dark_Phantom_89's Choices:
Vineta K Forward, Weps On - IDReaper
Metropia Forward, Weps Off - Dark_Phantom_89
Sol 2 Reverse, Weps Off - Dark_Phantom_89
IDReaper's Choices:
Talon's Junction Reverse, Weps Off - Dark_Phantom_89
Tech De Ra Reverse, Weps Off - Dark_Phantom_89
Ubermall Reverse, 10 Laps, Weps On - IDReaper
Default Track: Dark_Phantom_89
Final Scores: Dark_Phantom_89 5 - 2 IDReaper
Damn, seven points for Mirage. XD They're doing better than I anticipated.
OK, so first off, I think an apology needs to go here - I've been under pressure a lot IRL this past week or so, and it's leaked onto the board. So I'm sorry for having been snappish and rude, and generally not that nice a guy.
I've had three people give me suggestions as to what to do with the final standard race for the 1v1 challenge thread, so I thought I'd address these head on.
First things first - I wanted it to be different from the one kanar was choosing - hence why initially I picked Vin K Reverse. One problem I found that I was finding it a bit too... easy. :/ I was worried that - given that it's one of my preferred tracks, I would be called out on choosing a track that I had a definite advantage on. So I decided to change it, and considering kanar was picking all tracks from HD, I went for a Fury track. Modesto is nice but a bit of a stress-causer, Talon's is easy but boring and TDR is another of my favourites, so I went for Amphiseum Fwd, so that nobody could call out on someone managing to do the shortcut BR four laps in a row.
I thought it best to keep it the way it was for a while so that everyone got used to it, but it seems it's getting a bit tiring. OK, sorry guys for having kept Amphiseum for so long. Now as a final warning: this track is up on the first post twice, and also here, and also in every single post from here on out when I have a match. So there is no excuse for not doing it.
Standard race is a
ZONE BATTLE AT SYNCOPIA, TARGET 50
And before you complain, -everyone- knows Syncopia.

Kyonshi, which of my tracks would you like to do a Green race on?
Huh... well, as far as i'm concerned, i already said i don't want to do Zone Battles... What do i do now? Since my challenge was posted before this change, can i keep Amphiseum FWD as standard race?Quote:

I made many ZB, don't worry. I know exactly what it involves. I just totally have no interest at all in this mode. Maybe a bit with a full grid, but even there, barely. It was so painful and annoying to do this in Campaign. It is boring, it's shallow, relies on poor possibilities of strategy and in 1 on 1, its just pointless and again, horribly boring. WipEout is combat racing with weapons. Regular races are packed with action, but dealing with a ****load of annoying barriers is totally insipid to me. Eliminator somehow fits with the game, but ZB and Detonator are pointless. SL should have put their efforts in new tracks and have Van-Uber and Tigron returned instead of those.
Don't get me wrong, it's not because i can't win in these. I did win against Challenger on one race and couple of times online. But even if i win, i don't feel anything gratifying in this. I know countless people will tell me the classic line "But you don't understand!" but i don't wanna hear or read nothing. I tried and played the mode many times to see what's the fun in it, but alas it always ended in disinterest.
Cheel Weenstahn.
Had to.
If you don't like the game mode then fair enough, but stating SL should've spent their time making more tracks is a bit odd when a lot of people (like me) do enjoy Zone and Detonator. You can stay away from it if you want, but let others enjoy the mode.. (:
I apologize and take responsibility for asking Kyonshi's opinion. But please, lets strive to keep away from debating directions of opinions.
Challenger, would you take exception to the default 7th round in this one instance for Kyonshi?
Edit: Challenger, I just had a thought. What if the 7th round mode was chosen between the racers; they would chose either a Single Race, Eliminator, or Zone Battle. The only thing that doesn't have any choice is the track that is chosen. What do you (or anyone else) think about that?
As for me it is a good idea Twitchy :g
Sorry but i don't have to suppress my opinions about ZB because some people, including you, like it. There's nothing odd in my statement because, again, its my opinion. Just like there's nothing wrong with someone having reasons to like ZB. I like Green Races and BRs, and a lot of people don't like them, with good reasons. I didn't came back on them this way. If i offended you because you're a ZB lover, im sorry, but i will stick to my opinion nonetheless.Quote:

You don't have to apologize, Twitchy. There's nothing wrong with ya:) I just stated my opinion this way because everytime i say i don't like ZB, i've noticed that people are totally amazed or stunned that i don't like it.:lol I just wanted to make things clear.Quote:

I also never said I'm amazed you don't like ZB and I never called you an idiot for it. I respect your opinion, and I stated that in my post. What the hell, dude?
Atmosphere here is becoming a little tense :cold... at the beggining everything was cool and something "collapsed" :frown: Can we all return to that previous calm state :):xtree
